What LED light?

[ReefAddict123]

So I'm looking to purchase 2 LED light fixtures but don't know what one to get I keep hearing mixed reviews about the new AI Vegas and Radions....so in any personal experience what is the best LED fixture to get I need 2 to cover a 50 inch long 2 inch deep 24 inch wide tank...mostly keeping lps and zoas.

I've been looking at the AI, Radions and ReefBrites...but mostly looking for a fixture with wireless control(optional) and is dimmable by program not those cheap Chinese led knob controlled LEDs

I don't own one yet, but I've been reading a lot about them and people seem to really like the reefbreeders LEDs. They have a forum here.

Yeah I've seen there's but here the problem not many of the places are using proper led lights there's a write up online ill have to find the site explaining why those type if LEDs aren't good

im running 2 AI sols over a lps dominated 90 with a good amount of sps aswell, i think i have them peaked at 60% i love them, getting great growth out of both the lps and sps, way more than i was under my old lighting (8 T5's). Deff a good bang for ur buck IMO

I would do AI or Radions Gen 2s. If you have the cash to burn go pro.

2 Radion G2s are the way to go. Love mine.

The mitris is a nice fixture there are 2 over a tank at arc and they look great, plus you can control them thru a computer or directly on the light with the build in digital controllers.. They are pretty pricey tho. Something worth looking into.. I am currently trying to decide between them and the radion pro

Caribbean Forest installed a new look-down tank with a Maxspect Razor over it. They also have one over their display tank, although you can't see it without raising the canopy. I don't know anything about LED lights, but I know I love the design of the Razor. What a beautiful fixture!

The biggest problem with the AI vegas (color) is the different colors don't mix well in the aquarium. Google "Color banding". If you're not bothered by the disco effect, these lights will do the job keeping LPS and zoos. That said, the AI Sol blue will work just as well

The radion gen 2 fixture mixes color extremely well. great lights IMO. The Pro is probably overkill

+1 on the Mitras if you can afford it, however it may be overkill for what you plan on keeping in your reef
